          Introduction to Traceroute
        </h2>
        <p>
          The <span class="application">Traceroute</span> package contains a
          program which is used to display the network route that packets
          take to reach a specified host. This is a standard network
          troubleshooting tool. If you find yourself unable to connect to
          another system, traceroute can help pinpoint the problem.

            Note

          <p>
            This package overwrites the version of <span class=
            "command"><strong>traceroute</strong></span> that was installed
            in the inetutils package in LFS. This version is more powerful
            and allows many more options than the standard version.
          </p>
        </div>
        <p>
          This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-9.1
          platform.

          Installation of Traceroute
        </h2>
        <p>
          Install <span class="application">Traceroute</span> by running the
          following commands:
        </p>
        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class="command">make</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          This package does not come with a test suite.
        </p>
        <p>
          Now, as the <code class="systemitem">root</code> user:
        </p>
        <pre class="root">
<kbd class=
"command">make prefix=/usr install                                 &amp;&amp;
mv /usr/bin/traceroute /bin                              &amp;&amp;
ln -sv -f traceroute /bin/traceroute6                    &amp;&amp;
ln -sv -f traceroute.8 /usr/share/man/man8/traceroute6.8 &amp;&amp;
rm -fv /usr/share/man/man1/traceroute.1</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          The traceroute.1 file that was installed in LFS by inetutils is no
          longer relevant. This package overwrites that version of traceroute
          and installs the man page in man chapter 8.
